Sold out! - GBGB: BLF-348 - Classy and Small 1xAAA Stainless Steel light, with Nichia NVSW219B-V1 R9050

+1

Please note that the light uses the 219B-V1 emitter, that started shipping last spring, it’s 5000K as opposed to previous 219B with 4500K.

It’s a more natural color temperature and the typical CRI is 93 (previous version is 92).

@Ormbett: Don’t worry mate. It’s high CRI. All Nichia 219B are…

Thanks! After the recent posts in this thread I feel much better :slight_smile:

Ok, there was just some metal in wrong place behind the pill - working now.

Tested 4 side by side against white wall and there are some small tint differences. Some a bit warmer, some a bit cooler. You can tell when they are side by side but individually tested its hard to say which one is which…

I ordered one of these. Didn’t use a coupon (only knocked a few pennies off) as it meant I wouldn’t be able to use a few points I’d earned. The points took the price down to £3.40, happy enough with that. For once in my life I have more flashlights en route than I do knives…….!!!

What? Not on any of mine.

Switch your “Input format” (below the comment box) to “Advanced” and you can drag and drop a picture in (make it small first if it’s huge)

You also need to add more carriage returns and otherwise fiddle a bit if you’re writing text, usually it’s not worth doing, but to post a pic, try that.

Choose the “other” checkout, either with or without PayPal, I forget — one but not the other checkout button lets you uncheck that tracking option

I think I’d be more likely to drill the clip as my chubs barely fit the button as it is.

Is this what you were referring to:

Wait, did you get that hole on one of the lights you rec’d from this group buy?
None of mine came like that. Nicely done, however it was done.

It’s doable — resembles the hole that CK drilled out last year with a ball mill

Yes, it was already in/on the light.

It’s funny. I bought a bunch of aftermarket clips and even tried a preon clip. I think I like the stock one best. Any one want some Cnq aftermarket clips?

:slight_smile:

Mine came after about 3 weeks. Very nice.

I agree but only partially.

IMO colors look “correct”. On the other hand, they are all a bit more towards “greyish” or something like that.
I think it may be because of higher K but I´m not sure.
Definitely looks a little different than with warmer white Nichias.

One of mine has almost completely “tintless” beam. I cannot honestly tell any colors from the bare beam when pointing at something white and this is new to me 8)

Rs=0.5Ohm

I have two lights, one is throwier than the other, the other is slightly warmer, i think, I will have to have a closer look where that comes from, but I do not expect very precise engineering on a 7 dollar light :party:

Btw, this $7.71 Fasttech light has the exact same build as the gb light (but with a -not fake- Cree XP-E led): https://www.fasttech.com/products/1601/10008272/1741600-mini-pen-style-1-cree-r3-1-mode-240-lumen-cool

Ugh another idiotic post sent to all participants. Next time try harder to resist.

Uh, oh… MountainKing is now on the “s” list!

I suggest everybody to send him a pm >_>.
This is just trolling, and from a senior member I expect better behaviour.
Due to the fact that this was on purpose, it agitates me even more than the other ignorant fools that just can’t read.

Ordered and received my first three lights. So impressed ordered three more. Now every time I order from GB I add one to the order. Perfect Xmas giveaways but will keep a couple for myself.
Can’t believe the quality for the price.
